Q is the most popular boy in school; he humiliates a dorky boy who wants to join his group and pokes fun at the fat girl next door who confesses to him. Fast forward into the future, the dorky boy is his boss and the fat girl has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. He falls in love with her but has to contend with her numerous suitors. The twist comes when he unwittingly registers for a love-help service online, and finds himself a cupid. He has to matchmake the couples that appear in his cupid notebook, with the aid of their thoughts that are updated in real- time. The catch is that he needs to make at least 3 out of 4 successful matches, if not his own chances at love will be forever ruined. The twist comes when the system pairs up the girl he likes with his boss, and assigns it to another cupid!
Although Q is a bit of a loser and behaved quite obnoxiously at certain points, he's amusing and somewhat ingenious. As we saw him attempt to secure the happiness of others, his likability increased, though I still found it hard to root for him. The movie has a lot of funny moments (with some lewd humour here and there) and a nice soundtrack. I think the plot is quite mediocre and the characters not very compelling, but the cupid premise made it interesting.
The main character, I didn't even care to learn his name was a complete jerk to begin with. As a young high school teen, he was a cocky arrogant bastard in a singing club. He looked down on everyone else. A young nerdy looking boy adored their singing club and wished to join. Whether he be just a supporter or what not. The arrogant jerk told the little nerd boy to jump into the river to retrieve a turtle. If he were to succeed, he would be accepted into the club. He did so but only to be made fun of and teased for having a sucker fish attached to his private. Later, a girl who's a little chubby came over to tell about her crush on him. He turned her down with a letter among the lines of,"3 flabs of fat is all you'll ever be." And then he proceeded to spray her with water. She claims that one day, she'll be beautiful and he'll regrets his words. Into adulthood, he is a loser who works for the once nerd kid who created the super soaker water hose. And the young chubby girl became a beautiful model. He later becomes a cupid and could no longer love. GOOD! That means the nerd boy now known as big boss will end up with Yer, but no…he somehow ends up with her in the end anyways. All in all, it's about a shallow bastard who got his way.
